Nunhead Open 9 Art Exhibition 2012

I will be showing My Mummy Superior Hollandais Cloth inspired print at NunheadHere is some more information about the work I am showing:I was fascinated the fable of the nun who was beheaded on Nunhead Green in the reformation of the monasteries in the 16th century. Although there is no evidence to support the story of the beheaded nun the story is part of folklore.The shop I was working with for Nunhead Arts Festval in 2009 sells Hollandais fabric, which is very popular in West Africa. The fabric designs on this cloth were often developed to focus on the visualisation of proverbs and folklore.I designed my own Hollandais cloth pattern inspired the legend of the nun beheaded on the green.Artist's projects performance interventions, film and video taking place alongside the main open exhibition at the Old Community Centre 7-9 September includes:Artists:Sarah Christian, Daniel Lehan, Sarah Doyle-Khan, Tisna Westerhof, Rachael Haines, Hatty Lee, Beris Blake, Peter Asgaba, Calum F Kerr, Miyuki Kasahara, Sarah Sparkes, Brian Mckenzie, Theresa Bottomley, Ludwig Ramsey, Harriet Hill, Linda Barck and more.Live Art Hide and Seek - Artist Frog Morris will be performing hidden inside a cupboard during the opening night of the exhibition.
